The Center for Adult Learner Services at University Park is accepting nominations for its 2000 Outstanding Adult Student Award.
Faculty, staff and currently enrolled adult students at Penn State may nominate an adult learner who has overcome obstacles and multiple roles to further his or her education. The individual nominated should serve as a role model for other students; achieve academically; have worked to sensitize the University to adult learners' needs; and have clearly defined short- and long-range educational goals.
To qualify for the award, a student must have started or resumed studies at or after age 24 or after having been out of high school for four years. They also must have been enrolled at University Park as a full- or part-time undergraduate or graduate student within four months of nomination. Undergraduates must have completed 45 credits, taking at least 30 of them at Penn State, and graduate students must have earned a minimum of 15 graduate credits. Undergraduate nominees will receive preference in consideration.
Nomination packets may be obtained by calling (814) 863-3887 or by stopping in 323 Boucke Building. Completed packets must be returned to the center by Wednesday, Dec. 22, at 5 p.m.
